2007-06-18 Motto of the week

As for my motto of the week for the upcoming management meetings: I've
decided upon the following.

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.

(Or translated: Besides, I think we should use more Open Source
components in our application infrastructure.

Historical note: Cato, one of the Roman senators, used to nag the
Senate with this sentence, stating that in his opinion, the city of
Carthage should be destroyed. After some years the senate sent an army
and destroyed the city, and along with it, an entire culture. They
probably did so to get rid of the nagging and not because Carthage was
a threat. So - if I keep nagging as well, will I have my way too?)
